I wanted to install a VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 on OpenSUSE 10.3. It worked well under OpenSUSE 10.2.

...

The installation goes well, but when VMWare is started the following error comes up: vmware: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

...

Any ideas?

Upgrade to 6.0.1.

I don't like these M$ tricks like having to upgrade and pay thru-ye-neck again. I do not have to buy my car back every time it needs a service! Surely there is another solution.

You've got a java's bug.

This may solve the prolblem.

1. search libmawt.so in the java.

Maybe, it's in the

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update2/jre/lib/xawt

(I don't know because mine is x86_64 system.)

Me too. I found it in: /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt

2. cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update2/jre/lib/xawt

3. cp -p libmawt.so libmawt.so.orig

4. sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so

Then try to start VMware.

Same error. OK; This is what I tried: sakabula:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt> sudo cp -p libmawt.so libmawt-original.so root's password: sakabula:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt> ls -l total 488 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 242872 2007-05-02 11:21 libmawt-original.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 242872 2007-05-02 11:21 libmawt.so sakabula:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt> sudo sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so sakabula:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt> ls -l total 488 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 242872 2007-05-02 11:21 libmawt-original.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 242872 2007-10-08 15:30 libmawt.so sakabula:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_update12/jre/lib/amd64/xawt> cd ~ sakabula:~> vmware vmware: xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed. sakabula:~ :-(

Hello all, Could someone help me with some testing please? Or, even better, could someone suggest a solution? I am using OpenSUSE 10.3 with Gnome. I've downloaded and installed from CD. When I install, the first thing I do when everything is up and running and I'm on the desktop is run Orca. This is a screen reader that enables people like me who are blind to access the graphical desktop. Like aexpected, it's configuration wizzard is launched and after answering a few questions, I am prompted to log out in order to enable gnome's accessibility support. So, I log out and back in again but I'm told that either at-spi is not working correctly or it is not installed. Sure enough, when I look, at-spi isn't on the system. No worries, I just install it using Yast. Now, the message is not shown any more. I try to ensure accessibility support is enabled using the assistive technologies preferences but I get a message saying that the gnome settings manager is not installed. There is no package under this title but I find a work around using the another package. Sorry, I don't remember it's name at the moment. Now however, although assistive software is enabled in Gnome, Orca is still not reading controls that implement at-spi. I can only assume that something in Gnome is not referencing at-spi correctly. Do any of you have any suggestions? Could you try the following? 1. start gnome. 2. Start orca. press alt f2 and type orca. 3. follow the wizzard. I usually just answer no to all it's questions except the last one asking if it should log out as this is necessary. 3. After logging out and back in again, note any errors you get. 4. Launch orca again. 5. In orca's main window you will see two buttons. tab will navigate the focus between each button and when orca is running it should speak the highlighted text as you land on it. If however your system behaves like this one, orca will not speak at all. Could you let me know if you experience this? Any idea how I can get Gnome behaving as it should? Thanks in advance.

Yes

The 5.5.1 license is a valid license for v5.5.5.

Thanx Rui & Masaru, I got a 30-Day 6.0.1 version from VMWare to test. It works (also without vmware-any-to-any). Will try 5.5.5 update later. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had to do the same thing, because 5.5.5 wouldn't work for me with the openSuSE kernel.

The other thing I had to do (on some machines) was to change the networking from bridged to NAT. (I have no idea why, just that NAT worked while bridged didn't.)

OK, Thanx for the Info! I suspected that it would be a problem. I got a test version running now. I will be going over to Xen I think; away from closed source as far as possible. Have a lot to do at the moment on migrating M$ Access VBasic compiled database app to OpenSource ERPII; then I will just install one version of WXP & one Win2K as backup WinOS's on Xen. VMWare will be dropped, won't be buying licences anymore. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you mentioning to the 10.3 or 10.2 version ? I have a v5.5.5 with the latest openSUSE Kernel ( 2.6.22.9-125 ). It's an i386 machine.

The other thing I had to do (on some machines) was to change the networking from bridged to NAT. (I have no idea why, just that NAT worked while bridged didn't.)
